Crispy caesar chicken

Andreas Trauttmansdorff

Ingredients

  • 142-g box (2 pouches) Shake 'n Bake

  • 1/2 cup creamy caesar or blue cheese salad dressing

  • 8 skin-on, bone-in chicken drumsticks, or thighs, or 4 large skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts

Instructions

  • Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a rack on top. Preheat oven to 400F (200C).

  • Pour one pouch of coating mix into one of the plastic bags that comes in the box. Pour dressing into a pie plate. Remove skin from chicken, only if you wish. Working with one piece of chicken at a time, coat with dressing. Place in bag with coating mix. Close top. Shake to evenly coat. Place on rack. Repeat with remaining chicken. Add second pouch of mix, if needed.

  • Roast in preheated oven until coating is golden and crispy, 45 to 50 minutes. Don't turn. Great with french fries and vegetable crudités.
